It’s nice of you to comment. Really glad that you’re happy at Mission Playground. Rep life continues to be interesting, and you’re missed.

Take care,

Reps are needed in this industry, yet our job descriptions are expanding while our paychecks are shrinking. We can do better, and will.

We’re working on some of these ideas here at PEMBA, and lots of smarter people elsewhere are, too. We hope you’ll join us in discovering them.

You’re right, Brad. Good reps are like hen’s teeth. Bad reps, unfortunately, are fairly numerous.
